-        Model Compression Toolkit (MCT) is an open-source project for neural network model optimization under efficient, constrained hardware.
-        This project provides researchers, developers, and engineers tools for optimizing and deploying state-of-the-art neural networks on efficient hardware.
-        Specifically, this project aims to apply quantization to compress neural networks.
-        <img src="https://github.com/sony/model_optimization/raw/main/docsrc/images/mct_block_diagram.svg" width="10000">
-        MCT is developed by researchers and engineers working at Sony Semiconductor Israel.
+        ## Getting Started
+        ### Quick Installation
+        Pip install the model compression toolkit package in a Python>=3.9 environment with PyTorch>=2.1 or Tensorflow>=2.12.
+        ```
+        pip install model-compression-toolkit
+        ```
+        For installing the nightly version or installing from source, refer to the [installation guide](https://github.com/sony/model_optimization/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md).
+        **Important note**: In order to use MCT, you’ll need to provide a floating point .pt or .keras model as an input.
+        ### Tutorials and Examples
-        ## Table of Contents
+        Our [tutorials](https://github.com/sony/model_optimization/blob/main/tutorials/README.md) section will walk you through the basics of the MCT tool, covering various compression techniques for both Keras and PyTorch models.
+        Access interactive notebooks for hands-on learning with popular models/tasks or move on to [Resources](#resources) section.

-        ## Getting Started
+        </p>
+        </div>
-        This section provides an installation and a quick starting guide.
+        For each flow, **Quantization core** utilizes various algorithms and hyper-parameters for optimal [hardware-aware](https://github.com/sony/model_optimization/blob/main/model_compression_toolkit/target_platform_capabilities/README.md) quantization results.
+        For further details, please see [Supported features and algorithms](#supported-features).
-        ### Installation
+        Required input:
+        - Floating point model - 32bit model in either .pt or .keras format
+        - Representative dataset - can be either provided by the user, or generated utilizing the [Data Generation](#data-generation-) capability
-        To install the latest stable release of MCT, run the following command:
-        ```
-        pip install model-compression-toolkit
-        ```
